And don't we know it.

I doubt the RAAF will be too keen landing them on a tiny rolling deck either. Don't know if there are any jet qualified aviators left in the RAN as they were paid off back when HMAS Melbourne was decommissioned in the 80's.

In terms of the ships though at least we wil have someone that provides heavy lift capability when it comes to assisting with regional disasters like cyclones, earthwuakes and tidal waves.
